Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Developmental 
Disabilities Protection and Advocacy Statement of Goals and Priorities

    Description: Federal statute and regulation require each State 
Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare and submit to public 
comment a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP) for the P&A for 
Developmental Disabilities (PADD) program for each coming fiscal year. 
While the P&A is mandated to protect and advocate under a range of 
different Federally authorized disabilities programs, only the PADD 
program requires an SGP. Following the required public input for the 
coming fiscal year, the P&As submit the final version of this SGP to 
the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD). ADD will 
aggregate the information in the SGPs into a national profile of 
programmatic emphasis for P&A Systems in the coming year. This 
aggregation will provide ADD with a tool for monitoring of the public 
input requirement. Furthermore, it will provide an overview of program 
direction, and permit ADD to track accomplishments against goals/
targets, permitting the formulation of technical assistance and 
compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993.
    Respondents: State and Tribal Governments.
